New Linear Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks, an even more improved new John Curl design


The good old linear Halo JC1’s monoblocks were released 2003 and were one of the best and could drive anything without a sweat, even the Wilson Alexia with 0.9ohm loading.
These new linear JC1+ monoblocks have some very good improvements, and even better drive ability than the old.
At $17k not exactly cheap, but probably better than any others amp around that pricing.
Enjoy.

I rather buy Accuphase if I were looking to spend close to $20,000 on power amp seperates. I'm sure the Parasound have more grunt but let's be honest even Alexia 2 that seem to be your often touted punish load speaker don't need anything near 180amperes of power, even for peaks.

And when you're spending this much money looks are important too. I do not like or appreciate the understated brushed metal chassis that Parasound is known for. Nor do I feel comfortable paying for anything assembled in the far east for these prices.
